I have a 2019 FTR base model, I originally planned to put a 45 tooth sprocket on it but decided to go with the 43 tooth sprocket and I'm really happy with it. It definitely improves the gas mileage.

Oops...
I just edited it, I skipped the planned 45 and went with the 43.
The reference to the 41 is I believe that's what they're using in the Super Hooligans series. Having done a couple of accidental 2nd gear roll offs on the 43 tooth I'd be happy to try 41 on the road, it might be just fine out here in the West. I used to have very tall gearing on the FXR, it was a bit of a pain in slow traffic. Feathering the clutch is not hard at all.
As a side note I pissed a lot of people off on the FXR, it had a bombed motor and open ignition so I could frequently get to the front of the pack in 4th gear... 😈

We have a few roads in the hills behind Perth where I use 3rd and 4th mainly but most of the time it's flat straight and boring.

what is the factory size?? I can find this info
The 45t from indian or the 46t from superlite are good options, I tried the 43t and hated it. You will need to remove two links from your chain for any of these. Or buy a 114 link chain

I haven't lost any torque but it has shifted the torque up the ground speed range. It's not so quick off the line anymore, the most noticeable difference is in the fuel economy, I get more range out of each tank full.
